Brief:
This kit is a single stage, "fantasy scale" rocket, usin' a ring-fin for stability.

Construction:
T' kit arrived with all t' necessary parts included, me hearties, ya bilge rat, and in good shape. T' balsa and t' tubes appear t' be identical t' Estes parts. Avast! Arrr! T' nose cone and centerin' rings, me bucko, however, I found t' be sub-standard. Avast, me proud beauty! T' centerin' rings were very thin and flimsy- I used them, me bucko, arrr, me hearties, but reinforced them with bits o' Balsa t' strengthen them. I'd be frightened t' fly this thin' without this mod! T' nose cone appears t' be sone cheap plastic, nay t' higher-quality stuff I'm used t' from Estes, matey, matey, TLP, ya bilge rat, and other companies. Arrr! T' parts all went together easily enough, but t' rin' tail gave me some trouble. Begad! T' span o' t' fins be just a bit too short, ya bilge rat, shiver me timbers, ya bilge rat, so I wound up havin' t' hold t' rin' in place while t' glue dried. T' rest o' t' kit was very straight-forward. Avast! Avast! T' finished product is a smart-lookin' Man-O-War. T' narrow fins that go on just ahead o' t' rin' are pretty fragile, me bucko, me hearties, but t' rest is solid enough.

Finishing:
Paintin' t' kit is simple enough. Blimey! Aye aye! Prime, ya bilge rat, spray t' whole Man-O-War white, and paint t' nose red. Avast! Aye aye! After that, t' decals go on. Arrr! I haven't put t' decals on mine just yet, I got distracted with some other projects, me bucko, matey, and t' rocket looks good enough without them! Overall, I'm givin' a ratin' o' 3 for construction/finishing. Aye aye! Avast! T' score would be much higher if t' centerin' rings, me hearties, which I consider a safety issue, were made o' sturdier stuff. Ahoy! Begad! T' poorly-fittin' ring/fin arrangement costs them as well.

Construction Rating: 3 out o' 5

Flight:
I've had two flights on me Satellite Drone so far, ya bilge rat, both very successful. T' first nearly ended up in a tree, but be recovered. Avast, me proud beauty! T' second resulted in a short hike, shiver me timbers, but be otherwise uneventful. Well, blow me down! Both flights were on C6-3's.

Recovery:
This is a very light rocket for t' size o' chute that was included. Arrr! I opted t' cut a spill hole in it, ya bilge rat, even before t' first flight. It still drifts considerably. Arrr! Blimey! I'd enlarge t' spill hole, but I'm worried about breakin' those narrow forward fins.

Flight Rating: 4 out o' 5

Summary:
T' final product is a very nice looking, unique Man-O-War. T' quality o' materials has room for improvement, but t' design itself seems well thought-out.

Overall Rating: 3 out o' 5
